Collectors Guild Cafe

Hello Cafe friends!

The fifth poll has now closed, and the winning location to visit was A Foggy Castle at 55%. I love that this won, as I'm sure many of us could find something interesting to collect from a mysterious castle shrouded in mists. The sixth and final question is now available, so be sure to place your vote! Remember, we're doing a Crowd's Choice personality quiz to see which Collector would hang out with all you awesome people! The results will be shared August 25th where we will also introduce the other main Cafe collectors.

We're coming up on unlocking the free 8x10 Holiday Goblins print, which is really exciting. Abi is almost done with it; I've already received the lineart and it is so dang cute! This one is quite the special image with so many hidden surprises. You'll have to let us know what you find!

The Coloring Contest from Update 13 is still going! You have until the end of the campaign to share your art. Here's one entry we've received!



Thanks for being part of the Cafe's grand opening!

Hi Cafe friends!

We wanted to send a quick update to let you know that Bookmark Pack 2 is now available as a discounted add-on for only $10!



The $17,000 stretch goal has been updated as well to an 8x10 print of the Holiday Goblins illustration (final art will be shared in the next few days), and this will be free to all pledges. These prints will be REALLY high quality (120lb cover weight and extra shiny gloss coating), making it an excellent addition to your holiday decorating. We can't wait for you guys to find the easter eggs hidden throughout the image!

We are grateful for the feedback we received about the achievement related to the BP2. We were able to change around some things to better suit most of the requests we have received. Thank you as well to everybody who asked about making the BP2 available early so that you could add them to your pledge now! That was very helpful feedback, and we're always looking for ways to improve what we offer you guys.

P.S. Because of the higher cost of pins, we are keeping that achievement as free to all-in only, but it will still have a heavy discount for all other backers. This is not something we can change.

Hello there, collectors and cafe fans!

The Cafe has now been open for 13 days, and we have a lot of exciting stuff to share with you today!

The third poll has now closed, and the winning answer was Sakura Blossoms at 37%. Certainly a beautiful sight to behold when the sakura trees bloom and the wind scatters the petals through the air... The fourth question is now available, so be sure to place your vote! Remember, we're doing a Crowd's Choice personality quiz to see which Collector would hang out with all you awesome people!

We're also excited to start the Community Coloring Contest! All backers get to participate in this contest, and we will choose two winners to receive a special CGC prize with their pledge. All you have to do is save this image of Poppy's lineart and color it however you wish: coloring pencils, crayons, markers, painting, digital, whatever works best for you! When you're done, share it on social media with #CGCartcontest and tag us @collectorsguildcafe on Instagram and @collectorcafe on Twitter. If you can't share to social media, you can also share a photo here as a reply to this update.



In addition, we've uploaded the first speed paint of the art for you to enjoy! This will give everybody an insight to how Abi works on the illustrations for the cafe, and our upcoming comic too. Check it out below and be sure to Follow us on YouTube!

Abi has also completed the art for the month of December, and we're so excited to reveal it to you now. Please welcome Hyacinth and her friend Sprig, who loves to collect snowglobes and glitter domes from the places they visit!

Don't forget to tell your friends about this really cute Cafe, and stayed tuned for more fun announcements!

Hello there, Cafe goers!

The Cafe has now been open for 9 days, which puts us a third of the way through this awesome campaign! Alister seems very pleased with this success; I can see him at the counter with a small smile and cleaning one of his favorite cups.

We did some number crunching and have lowered the funding goal for the Bookmarks Upgrade to $13,500, which means we are VERY close to unlocking this reward for those purchasing the bookmarks!

In addition, we can now unlock the Bookmark Pack 2 at $17,000 instead of it's previous $25,000. The Free Pin will stay at $20,000.



The second poll has now closed, and the winning answer was Stay Inside at 37% closely followed by Go Outdoors at 32%. This seems like a logical way for that poll to end. The third question is now available, so be sure to place your vote! Remember, we're doing a Crowd's Choice personality quiz to see which Collector would hang out with all you awesome people!

We also wanted to show you guys the sample notebook that just came in yesterday. Because we don't have the art done yet for the covers, we got the Collectors Guild Cafe logo printed on the front, but remember you'll get to pick from 6 different collectors to have on the front of your notebook!

This notebook look awesome and feels great! It is hardcover, comes with 80 cream colored lined pages, a white ribbon bookmark, a handy pocket folder in the back, and a stretchy band to keep it closed. It measures 5.5" × 8.5" (13.97 cm × 21.59 cm).

Don't forget to tell your friends about this really cute Cafe, and stayed tuned for more fun announcements!
